-Makes a persuasive case that the Marxist government of Ethiopia
induced famine and was reluctant to obtain or use this benevolent
aid to provide effective relief until its contribution to the
achievement of revolutionary goals could be assured. . . . Varnis
skillfully documents the intricacies of PVO (private voluntary
organization) actions to merge government donor and recipient
policies. In so doing, he successfully refutes Third World
dependency theory doctrines but paints a gloomy picture of
continuing food deficits in Ethiopia's future.- --T. M. Vestal,
Choice -A welcome contribution. He provides a detailed,
clear-headed, and accurate analysis of U.S. famine relief to
Ethiopia in 1983-86, when good aid was used by the Marxist-Leninist
regime for political, military, and ideological ends. Asks all the
rights questions and provides most of the right answers.- --Michael
